Picking up an option for a player like Floyd, an underused talent at a premium position, is a no-brainer.

If Floyd has a stellar season next year alongside Carson Palmer, the Cardinals get him reasonably cheap for one more year. If he continues to perform below expectations, the team can get around the money.

That's the real anti-climax to the fifth-year option season. Most of the players who still have potential or are still ascending will get it picked up. Simple as that.
